CepStream.HoppingWindow<TPayload> Method (CepStream<TPayload>, TimeSpan, TimeSpan, DateTime)
Transforms a stream to a window stream where each member is a CepWindow using the default output policy. The window is defined by constant window size and hop size timespans. You can also provide an alignment time as a reference for the starting point for the window.
Namespace: Microsoft.ComplexEventProcessing.Linq
Assembly: Microsoft.ComplexEventProcessing (in Microsoft.ComplexEventProcessing.dll)
Syntax
public static CepWindowStream<CepWindow<TPayload>> HoppingWindow<TPayload>(
this CepStream<TPayload> source,
TimeSpan windowSize,
TimeSpan hopSize,
DateTime alignment
)
Type Parameters
- TPayload
The type of the input event payload.
Parameters
- source
Type: Microsoft.ComplexEventProcessing.Linq.CepStream<TPayload>
The CepStream to apply the HoppingWindow operation against.
- windowSize
Type: System.TimeSpan
The length of the window.
- hopSize
Type: System.TimeSpan
The hop size of the window.
- alignment
Type: System.DateTime
The reference time to align window start times.
Return Value
Type: Microsoft.ComplexEventProcessing.Linq.CepWindowStream<CepWindow<TPayload>>
A window stream to which aggregates, ranking, or user-defined operations can be applied to.
Usage Note
In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type CepStream<TPayload>. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter.

Remarks
The default output policy for the result of the set-based operation on top of the window is to create a point event aligned to the window end time. For more information, see Using Event Windows.
